Properties of Matter: Mass, Volume, and Density

​Properties of Matter

Mass, Volume, and Density​

Mass: the amount of matter in an object

​

Measurement tool: balance or scale​

​

Unit of Measurement: Grams (g)​

​All matter has mass. Mass is not affected by gravity, but weight is.

​Mass

​

Volume: The amount of space something takes up​

​

Measurement Tool: graduated cylinder or tape measure

​

Unit of Measurement: ​graduated cylinder-liters/milliliters (L/mL) tape measure-cubic centimeters (cm³)

​

​Water displacement for irregularly-shaped objects

​Volume

​

​

Density: how much mass there is in a particular space

​

Measurement Calculated by: mass divided by volume

​

Unit of measurement: grams per cubic centimeter​ (g/cm³)
